KIMA Crew Boat Trip to Nusa Lembongan!

Last Saturday the KIMA Crew entered a boat and made its way to Nusa Lembongan, one of the small islands between Bali and Lombok.

Starting in the dark, from the harbour in Sanur, after a little while the day started with a beautiful sunrise.

So Conny took some nice pictures of it!

Bobby prepared his board to rock the waves at our first stop – Ceningan Point.

Matze with a nice ride at Ceningan Point.

And here is Matt with an artistic move!

Stoked for their waves at Ceningan.    Bobby – Agus – Salvatore

After Ceningan it was time for an On-Board-Bintang-Break!

And the girls enjoyed the sun in the beautiful lagoon of Lembongan.

The Lembongan lagoon from uphill – what a view!

The lagoon offers three different breaks and Shipwrecks was the best option for this day!

Here you can see our guide Kacrut producing some spray.

Joko was really rocking Shipwrecks!!!

And at the end of the day, the crew arrived safe and sound in Sanur again, happy about the great trip!
